A latte in a red cup with saucer sitting on a wooden table. Sometimes my latte art turns out ok, and when it does I like to share it.

Just did a tiny bit of pushback against right wing authoritarian creep by voting for the board recommendations for the National Trust AGM to keep the Restore Trust loonies out. (It’s really easy to do! Just hit the quick vote button to accept the board recommendations)

Bristol skies during the Balloon Fiesta can be pretty epic! Hoping the wind blows them over my house in North Bristol at some point…

A latte in a red cup. Somewhat unusually for me, the latte art is pretty good- a heart with nice graduations

In the early 1900s, bistro owner Michel Lunarca [fr] popularized the name croque monsieur by satirically using it after having been accused by rival cafe owners of cannibalism.[3][4]
